POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
haven’t posted a favorites series in a while now so after i’ve had the worst summer (and year) of my life so far, i’ve thought i would look at some good things and try to distract myself from feeling terrible all the time. here are things that stayed with me — certain feelings, scents, moments, people — that made june and july feel better

here i am wearing @alinaispas lock kiss tshirt, love it (also, been loving the femcels for a while now and this album is amazing, feel like i am 15 again)

the smell of going out partying, this will stay with me forever and i think i may have found my perfect perfume that will always remind me of my late 20s, sweaty nights dancing out with friends at festivals, people screaming, flirting, crying after bad dates, everything. thanks @pourtoi_live for encapsulating so many feelings into a scent

doing crossword puzzle with my bby @nnrbi , we laughed a lot and i loooved that day (a bit anxious about some kids that were playing too close to the lake buuuut other than that peeerfect)

matching a moth or just other insects, birds, fish, whatever instead of trying to recreate outfits from vids i see online

picnic with friends. pic took by @reallyrux

like i mean it… picnic with friends

reading famesick by lena dunham. it has its good parts and bad parts ofc but i have realized how nostalgic it makes me feel for something i did not even live directly but somehow i did, because in the 2010s i was always indoors, looking at videos on youtube with all the pop stars, watching all the new gossip about them, living through them somehow. it made me wonder a lot about parasocial relationships and how they kind of distort reality in a way so it was a really challenging read but also a fun one (loved all the name dropping… hope one day i will write a novel or an autobiography, even tho i am boring as hell so idk)

these tomford sunglasses that don’t leave my face eveeeeer. a bday gift from @sabinateodora . been wantin’ them for a while and now i feel like the olsen twins everyday (i am delusional, ok?)

ok, i might’ve confused a lot of ppl, but my b-day is actually today (but because of our adults’ schedules, i had to plan the party for another weekend).

i love my friends and every day is just better because of them. i am officially 29 (i will not use the carrie bradshaw reference because i refuse to think about that), and i am leaving here a list i’ve made in my notes app with all the things i’ve learned in my 20s so far (ty @dollyalderton, u will always be famous):

1. not everyone will connect with what you do, and some ppl might not like you just because of who you are. just make sure you don’t feel the need to make them like you.
2. you are enough just as you are.
3. every time you say to your friends, “no, this time it’s serious. i have never been so heartbroken. it will not pass this time,” it did, in fact, always pass.
4. don’t cut your bangs with paper scissors just because you had a bad day.
5. always apply sunscreen before leaving the house.
6. sometimes you need to accept being a little bit uncomfortable in order to maintain some friendships.
7. go to every concert you can. you will never forget those moments.
8. accept compliments and give compliments. best serotonin boost.
9. you will never be able to clean your whole apartment by yourself, and that is ok.
10. never shut up about the things you care about.
11. never be afraid to talk about things ppl refuse to talk about.
12. you cry a lot, so just accept it, cry on that bus, and move on.
13. listening to sufjan stevens right after a breakup might not be the best idea.
14. burrata is always a good idea, tho.
15. everything i’ve learned about love, i’ve learned in my friendships with the ppl around me, so keep those ppl close and thank them every day for being there for u.

tysm @geaninaah and @roabadecultura for hosting this and helping me with everything and also @denisa.timisag for the cake 🦢💕
